    #SHN: Curating with Care

    Sascia Bailer and Kemê Pellicer discuss curating and care, as well as the opportunities and limitations these have in the field of art and culture relating to precariousness, politics, and lived realities. This conversation was recorded on 24th February 2025. You can download Sascia Bailer's book for free: Sascia Bailer (2024) Caring Infrastructures. Transforming the Arts through Feminist Curating. Sascia Bailer is a feminist researcher, writer and curator working at the intersection of care, gender, and socially engaged art. In her doctoral dissertation she investigated the ambivalent relationship between curating and care, and formulated propositions towards caring infrastructures within the arts. In 2019/2020 she initiated a participatory curatorial programming on care as the Artistic Director of M.1 Arthur Boskamp-Stiftung in rural Northern Germany. Together with Didem Yazici, she curated the exhibition “Mothers*, Warriors, and Poets: Care as Resistance” (2023) at StadtPalais Stuttgart. She is the author of the article “Care for Caregivers. Curating against the Care Crisis” (in: “Curating with Care”, Routledge, 2023) and of the booklet “Curating, Care, and Corona” (Verlag der Arthur Boskamp Stiftung, 2020). She co-edited the anthology „Letters to Joan“ (2020, HKW) and the artist monographies „Re-Assembling Motherhood(s): On Radical Care and Collective Art as Feminist Practices“ by Maternal Fantasies (Onomatopee, 2021), and „What We Could Have Become: On Queer Feminist Filmmaking“ by Malu Blume (Onomatopee, 2021). She regularly writes for Monopol magazine on art, care, and gender justice. She has worked internationally within the arts, including MoMA PS1, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, and Vera List Center for Art and Politics. Editing: Milla Millasnoore

    #SHN x EMMA: Katse näkyvyyden politiikkaan – keskustelu vallasta, representaatioista ja ennakkoluuloista

    Osana #StopHatredNow 2024 ohjelmaa, EMMAssa järjestettiin paneelikeskustelu vallasta, representaatioista, ennakkoluuloista sekä näkyvyyden politiikasta keskiviikkona 15.5.2024. Keskustelemassa Päiviö Maurice Omwami ja Wanda Holopainen. Moderaattorina Monica Gathuo. #StopHatredNow on viikon mittainen, kerran vuodessa järjestettävä interkulttuurinen ja antirasistinen tapahtuma-alusta, joka luo uutta diskurssia moninaisuudesta. Usean taide- ja kulttuuriorganisaation yhteistyönä toteuttama tapahtuma rakentaa positiivisessa hengessä keskustelua diversiteetistä, inklusiivisuudesta, valtarakenteista, toiseudesta, sekä intersektionaalisista feministisistä strategioista. Inklusiivisuus, moninaisuus, syrjimättömyys, saavutettavuus ja sosiaalinen ja ekologinen kestävyys ovat jokaisen taide- ja kulttuuri-instituution tulevaisuutta määrittäviä kysymyksiä.
